Although the tactic of throwing firecrackers with a catapult did not cause great damage to the Xianbei army, it forced it to leave the camp in the middle of the night and withdraw for five miles. Apex The update is the fastest, fortunately, the Xianbei people are used to acting immediately, whether it is tidying up or setting up tents, they are very skilled. However, the army was not able to establish its camp until the eve of dawn.

Wang Yun had been by Guo Bin's side, and when he saw the reaction of the Xianbei army, he couldn't help but sigh: "Qianyang is still the first person who can make the Xianbei people retreat and set up camp in the field battle."

Most of the grassland peoples are cavalry, fast horses and swords, and quick battles, and the Central Plains infantry is never taken into account in the field neutral camp, so Wang Yun has this saying.

On the second day, the sky was still bright, but the Han soldiers had already eaten breakfast and poured out from the Thang Long Valley. The Han sergeants, who had slept all night, slowly advanced to the sound of war drums, and the Xianbei soldiers who had not yet eaten had to cheer themselves up and go out of the camp to line up. It's not that Qian Man is stupid and doesn't know the difference in strength between the two sides at this time, but he has to deal with it like this.

First of all, to put it bluntly, the army led by him Qianman came only after looking at the face of Helian Danyu, and now Helian Danyu is trapped in the Shenglong Valley, if he can't confirm Helian's life and death as soon as possible, and doesn't avenge Heliandanyu as soon as possible, I'm afraid that the army under his command will collapse immediately. It is precisely because of this that Qianman has to fight as soon as possible, if the time is delayed for a long time, the spirit of the army is weak, and the news of the survival of Helian Shan Yu has not been obtained for a long time, with the strength of Qianman alone, I am afraid that he will not be able to suppress the arrogant soldiers and fierce generals under his command.

Secondly, looking at the current situation, the failure of Lian Shan Yu is basically a foregone conclusion, but I don't know how his life and death will be. And the more the situation is obscure and difficult to understand at such a moment, the more opportunities the Qianman side has to take advantage of the power of nearly 20,000 elite cavalry under his command to attack the Han army.

Even if there is a case that the army fails, the loss of the strength of each department will not have much impact on its own prestige. After the strength of each department was damaged, when he returned to Shan Yuting, he had to continue to obediently be under the "leadership" of Qianman's department, who inherited the position of Helian. Besides, if the Xianbei army is fast, it is defeated, at least it can run away.

And if he can win, his prestige will immediately rise, and it is not impossible to even surpass Helian Danyu: after all, Helian was also defeated in the hands of Guo Bin, if Guo Bin can be beaten to the ground, not only can he avenge Heliandan's defeat, but also lead the army to continue to advance and attack the three cities outside the Saiwai. If everything goes well, then he can even replace his father and Lian Shan Yu and become the big Shan Yu of the entire Xianbei clan. At that time, even if he and Lian Shan Yu were lucky not to die and returned to Shan Yu's court, they had to look at their own faces and act.

There is no so-called etiquette, righteousness and shame of the Han people, and the position of Shan Yu has always been the ability to live in it.

Of course, in addition to these political plans, there are naturally military considerations. The Xianbei people are good at field warfare, and in the vast prairie or the endless plains, the Xianbei cavalry comes and goes without a trace, and the cavalry's speed advantage can be used to walk the infantry of the Central Plains half to death. The Han people are good at siege warfare, whether it is armor or siege equipment, or tactical use, the Han army is far superior to the Xianbei people.

The strong attack crossbow that terrified the horse-riding people of the steppe can pass through the simple wall made of wood in the Xianbei camp, and the Xianbei soldiers behind the wall can easily penetrate the iron arrows of the not thick fur coats, which can cause great damage to the Xianbei soldiers. And if it was to attack the camp of the Han army, the Xianbei soldiers, who were generally equipped with copper or even bone arrowheads, would even find it difficult to break through the leather armor on the Central Plains soldiers. On the contrary, the stone throwers on the Han army city can cause mass destruction among the Xianbei soldiers.

This series of reasons made Qianman have to fight. Otherwise, if Guo Bin brings them a few more firecrackers, the Xianbei army will be hung up and will not be able to rest well, right? What's more, the sergeant of the Han family hung up the exemption card, truce for a few days, and the news of the defeat of the army spread among the Xianbei army, and the army was discouraged, and they lost without fighting.

Watching the Xianbei soldiers with two panda eyes rushing out of the battalion, Guo Bin was very satisfied. These Xianbei soldiers in front of them were attacked by Guo Er's troops the night before, and they never slept well. Yesterday, a day's march, was already sleepy and tired, and in the middle of the night, the Xianbei army camp was full of firecrackers and relocation camps, until dawn before resting. It didn't take an hour, and I had to get up to face the battle, and I was an iron-beaten man, and I was afraid to nap if I didn't sleep for two days.

The two armies faced each other, and the complacent Qianman came to the front of the battle surrounded by a group of Xianbei chieftains, and was about to speak, but saw a familiar figure on the opposite side riding out of the battle. The man was a black horse and a black gun, and his navy blue warrior robe was covered with a collar of armor shining with the reflection of Sensen's steel, majestic and extraordinary, but he was vaguely a young man who had a relationship in the Drunken Immortal Building.

The so-called armor is a scale armor in a broad sense, and it is mostly made of rectangular armor pieces that are directly tied to each other with leather strips or ropes. The armor pieces are stacked on top of each other horizontally and vertically, making it difficult for the sword to enter. The gap between the armor pieces is basically parallel to the human body, and even if it is drilled through the gap in the telescopic part, the blade will be pressed by the upper and lower armor pieces at an angle parallel to the human body, making it difficult to cause effective damage to the human body.

In the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the Central Plains appeared in the Central Plains with armor pieces made of bronze, and this kind of armor was retained until the Qin Dynasty. With the increase in steel production in the Han Dynasty, iron armor appeared, which greatly improved its defensive power, not only to defend against swords and spears, but also to resist bow and arrow fire at very close range. Therefore, the armor has become the most traditional and popular main armor of this era.

However, although its protection is excellent, it is not without its drawbacks, and the disadvantage of this type of armor is that the overall quality is too heavy. For Guo Bin, a lazy man, putting on armor weighing dozens of kilograms and then holding a Xuanlong gun will become a great burden. Although it has not reached the level of affecting the action, it is extremely inconvenient after all, at least after adding more than 100 catties of weight, even the war horse can not bear it.

Guo Bin didn't want to wear this heavy armor, but after all, he couldn't resist the insistence of Guo Jia, Su Shuang and others. If he was in the Central Plains, he could wear the lighter chain mail that he had ordered to be made, but he didn't expect a big war when he went north this time, so he didn't carry it.

Chain mail, also known as ring chain mail, is generally made of iron wire or iron ring buckle into a garment, each ring and the other four rings are buckled, like a net lock. At this time, the chain mail was mostly imported from the West, and it was a real high-end product. Because each ring is reinforced with rivets, it has a certain puncture resistance. But the quality of the chain mail worn by ordinary soldiers is worrying. Because most of them are made of thin iron bars, the joints of the iron bars are only very close together, but they are not connected, and of course they are not reinforced with rivets. As a result, it has excellent defense against slashing swords, but it is not strong against blades with great piercing power, such as iron spears and bows and arrows. The extreme puncture force will directly open the clasp, making the chain mail useless.

And until now, after wearing such heavy armor, Guo Binfang deeply understands why the Jianghu people do not have an advantage on the battlefield. The fighting of the rivers and lakes pays attention to tossing and turning, and pays attention to the combination of moves and footwork, so it requires a combination of light and agile body and ingenious moves. And the battlefield fight does not pay attention to so many bells and whistles, because after putting on heavy armor, except for fierce generals like Guo Bin, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, who are born with divine power, or peerless masters like Hua Tuo, who have peerless internal skills, no one can make a light posture of tossing and turning.

Therefore, the "masters of the rivers and lakes" who are dressed in armor know the skills of combat, and it is difficult to use their strengths with dexterous footwork. However, if someone abandons their armor for the sake of their lightness and flexibility, a cold arrow from nowhere can seriously injure them. If you want to fight on the ever-changing battlefield, you must always worry about the cold arrows that will come from nowhere, unless you have to practice to the point where you can use your moves at will and kill the enemy at will.

Qian Man saw the face of the person who came clearly, and then looked at the handsome flag with the word "Guo" fluttering in the army opposite, and his heart sank, and said: "The person who came is named!"

Guo Bin laughed and said, "This little brother has been gone for a long time, and under Guo Bin, he is the city lord of the three cities outside the Saiwai!" Are you Qianman, the son of Xianbei Dashan Yu Helian? ”

Qian Man secretly screamed in his heart that the conflict between him and Fu Luohan in the Drunken Immortal Building was actually a good one for Guo Bin. At that time, he was hot-headed, and told the news that the Xianbei army was going south to attack the three cities outside the Saiwai, presumably Guo Bin had begun to prepare since that time. Then he thought that before he left the three cities outside the Saiwai, he had been left by Zhang Shiping for two days, although he spent a lot more time than usual, but he was busy discussing with Sha Hanlin about the chaos in the city, and he did not take this matter to heart. If all this is not a coincidence, then this time the army went south, so it was defeated, and Lian Dan did not know whether he was alive or dead, and he was really to blame.

But although he thought of it, how could he dare to say it? At the moment, I had to cheer myself up and said: "This general is the son of Xianbei Da Danyu, it turns out that the people of the Central Plains also know the name of this prince?" After that, there was a burst of laughter in the Xianbei army, which obviously did not take Guo Bin in his eyes.

When Guo Bin saw it, he was not angry, and replied loudly: "I have established a city outside the Saiwai for more than a year. Behaved in a regular manner, never caused trouble, and communicated with the Xianbei tribes, seeking benefits for the people of the grassland, and won the appreciation of the grassland departments, even if you Xianbei royal court was also quite favored. Why are you openly going south now, intending to plot against my Han family's estate? Isn't this perverse and arousing the wrath of all? For a time, the morale of the Han army was great, and the morale of the Xianbei army was slightly depressed.

Qian Man argued: "Since the beginning of Tanshi Huai, the grassland has been full of pastures of my Xianbei people, and you have built a city north of the Great Wall without permission, which is against the sky!" I have a big order in Shuntian, and the strategy of going south is to rescue the Xianbei troops from fire and water, and you are now sluggish in the army, you are really a mantis arm as a car, and you can't do it too much!"

Qian Man's words made a roaring cheer among the Xianbei army, and it was also extremely outstanding among the Xianbei people to be able to scold and fight with the Han people so much.
